SPSS Assignment

• Complete Week 3 Assignment 1 in SPSS Assignments.doc. There is no report required for this assignment.
• Use the following two data sets for a 10-point quiz in two classes of 10 students in each class:

Oak Harbor School

Pine Ridge School

For each school:

• Enter the data sets into a single SPSS data table.
• Construct frequency distribution tables (using Analyze>Descriptive Statistics>Frequencies…) that include relative and cumulative percentage for each school separately.
• Construct a frequency distribution table that includes the frequency of test scores for both schools combined. With this table, also calculate the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation for both schools combined.
• Produce a histogram, frequency polygon (line graph)s, and pie charts which display the data for the two schools side-by-side for visual comparison.

Submit a report that:

• Shows the calculations and graphs produced in SPSS. (Use copy or copy object and paste relevant frequency distribution tables and graphs.) Copy over only relevant information. Edit out irrelevant information.
• Evaluates the effectiveness of the three graphs (histogram, frequency polygon, and pie chart) for these data sets, with a recommendation and rationale for the most effective graph to use to present the analysis.
• Interpret the results for instructional decision making. Based on the descriptive statistics, how would the instructor proceed for each school? In your comments, make specific reference to the statistic on which your comment is based. Pay attention both to measures of central tendency and to measures of variation (dispersion). Specifically, address the issue of central tendency and variation within and between the two schools.
• Save the SPSS data file you create for use in the Week 4 Assignment.
